Isotopic distributions and elemental yields for the photofission of /sup 235,238/U with 12--30-MeV bremsstrahlung

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
Combining independent yields directly measured or calculated from the charge distribution, the Kr, Rb, Sr, Sn, Sb, Te, Xe, Cs, and Ba isotopic distributions were investigated for the 12--30-MeV bremsstrahlung-induced photofission of /sup 235/U. At the same bremsstrahlung endpoint energies the Rb, Sn, Sb, Te, I, and Xe isotopic distributions were studied for the photofission of /sup 238/U. For both fissioning systems the tin distributions were significantly broader than all other distributions. From the elemental yields the proton odd-even effects were calculated as a function of Z. They turned out to be almost zero.
